I'm diggin' Nitro ZEUS -- even his default head. But I do believe he works best as a transtector for the Titan Masters...!

I'm still trying to decide if I should buy Nitro Zeus and, if so, what I could use him for when it come to customization.

Takara does have that stray "Ghost Starscream" headmaster.

It would probably be a pretty good G.I.Joe/Transformers Jetfire as Skystriker with Headmaster Ace.

I think a Transmetal Waspinator with elements of Darksyde Botcon Waspinator. Bonus, I think this would work with Cogman's head.

I have yet to see Cogman -- I finally saw another Voyager Sqweeks in Walmart yesterday, though.

There's also reissues of Voyager Megz, Op and Broadside making reappearances....no sign of Overlord.

UK does have Walmart, but it is called Asda there.
It's the same company.

Perhaps its the RC Sqweeks which is sold at walmart, and is quite large.

I just spent the last couple of minutes staring at this post. I feel like my whole world has been compromised and blown apart from the inside.

It could possibly just be a mistake. He said Voyager when he meant Deluxe. Usually the simplest explanation is the correct one.

The 'asda is the same company as walmart' part

OMG, sorry guys -- I totally meant Deluxe!!

But yeah, I wonder how they came up with "Asda"....

bodrock wrote:OMG, sorry guys -- I totally meant Deluxe!!

They didnt. Asda existed before and was a known store. So for Walmart to infiltrate the UK, they simply decided to buy out Asda, keep the name and now run it as Walmart in all but name. But its Walmart with the same George clothing and all. And like the US and Canada, its one of the main places where TFs are sold, including all the exclusive Last Knight Hot Rods.

Kurona, care to share how this has changed the way you look at life Asda? I am real curious.

Kurona wrote:The 'asda is the same company as walmart' part

Not exactly true, to be exact Asda is a subsidiary of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc, with Walmart proper as a Division. In that sense, the Target Corporation has hardly any subsidiaries, let alone in the UK.

It can be kind of an academic distinction since subsidiaries are sometimes run like divisions and vice versa, except on paper. It's hardly the kind of dramatic distinction you can sometimes have with a franchise or local partner, like Czech Burger King or Hungarian Frito Lay, where the local company can adjust flavors or deal with competitors or have different licensing partners.

Walmart and Asda are closer to Kroger and Fred's or Hardee's and Carl's Junior than they are to Hasbro and Takara or even Pepsi and Pepsi UK.

But that just makes us go in circles, since all international stores are usually subsidiaries (or licensees). Walmart Canada and Toysrus Canada are subsidiary of Walmart Inc and Toysrus Inc respectively, yet look the same (well my TRUs are better stocked than yours, so maybe thats different enough ). The point is, Walmart is 100% present in the UK, but under a different name.

It's the 100$ RC squeak that you saw.

Sorry, Kanra, but RC Sqweeks doesn't even transform - and therefore doesn't count lol His deluxe incarnation was what I saw (very scarce btw), and I hope others have better luck hunting him down.

Nitro is even harder to find -- but as I mentioned earlier, he makes an excellent transtector for the Titan Masters!

With Titans Return winding down, I'm glad the Prime Masters will retain the Titan Master play-concepts....I'm totally using those matrices as heads.

Same here. As well as using TR Rodimus Prime's die cast head to make a face matrix for Rodimus Prime of course. Or would it be better used in Rodimus Unicronus?

Looking forward to Roddy Unicronus!

Well, that's disappointing. Its always a bonus when titan masters can fit inside things. Or at least be posed with them.


Get in loser, we are going shopping!
